The '''quartisma''' is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] comma with a ratio of '''117440512/117406179''' and a value of approximately 0.5 [[cent|cents]]. The quartisma is significant on account of it being the interval between a stack of five [[33/32]] quartertones and one [[7/6]] subminor third in Just Intonation- this significance in relation to quartertones being the source of its name. Tempering it out leads to a form of '''quartismic temperament'''. For a list of such temperaments, see [[The Quartercache]]. | |||
